Another false information. You need to learn more about giving
those answers. The dos' 8.3 standard imposes some restrains. But with
the appearence of vfat those restrains were lifted. You can have as many
dots as you want (well, less than 255 which is the limit of chars for a
filename). But Mozilla (the browser I use under windoze) has the bad
habbit of converting all the dots but the last one into underline. This
is not a limitation of the filesystem. Just some pieces of software
make that conversion (wild guess) for the sake of clarity. Because
windoze uses just one extension - the last one.
